Description from the seller

Fading into the Mist
The world softens at the edges, concrete turning to vapor in the weeping light. I stand still while the city dissolves, a watercolor dream washing away under the grey rain. Somewhere in that thick silence, the memory of you lingers, drifting just out of reach. The mist swallows the buildings, and I am left watching the familiar shapes become ghosts, unfinished and beautiful.

Pippo (born in Monza) is a contemporary painter exploring the terrain between solitude, elegance, and geometric abstraction, moving fluidly between realism and surrealism. He worked professionally as a graphic designer before devoting himself to painting full-time and settling near Lake Maggiore. Reserved and introspective, he writes privately and prefers his canvases to speak.

His imagery balances stylized figures with geometric order, often casting the human–animal bond in a gently surreal light. Frequently faceless to leave room for the imagination, his characters appear in elegant attire, poised within stark, modernist rooms. Sharp angles, measured negative space, and precise reflections create both boundaries and possibilities, inviting viewers to wonder what lies beyond. A restrained palette—black and white punctuated by decisive color—intensifies the mood, while staged light and recurring motifs, from a solitary moon to a glowing sun, lend quiet, cinematic poetry.

Grounded in the discipline of design, Pippo’s compositions fuse clarity and mystery, bridging realism and surrealism through clean line, calibrated color, and atmospheric stillness. From the calm of Lake Maggiore, he refines a language of elegant economy—using light, geometry, and silence to evoke stories of longing, memory, and contemplative grace.
